Reef Zlements Alkalinity 1000ml
Alkalinity if one of the most important parameters in a reef aquarium and should be kept stable at around 7-8 dKH. Within a reef aquarium, Alkalinity is not only used by corals during the calcification process but is also used as a buffer to your aquariums pH levels. When waste and compounds break down producing ammonia, Nitrite and nitrate, the pH within an aquarium can take a hit, Alkalinity is almost like a reservoir to your pH and thus can be used to stabilise pH at higher levels than 7. Most reef aquariums want to achieve a pH between 8-8.3. Without Alkalinity, this would rarely be possible and thus it is essential for Alkalinity to be present a these levels consistently, not only to ensure optimal coral growth and health, but also the health of all other organisms within the aquarium, as pH can cause serious issues if not kept stable.
Due to this utilisation of Alkalinity, it is likely that Alkalinity will be one of the most used compounds within your aquarium and will no doubt require to be dosed to maintain optimal levels. It is suggest keeping levels correct by testing and addition or lack thereof of kH buffer or use of the 2 part system like Complete or pHplus.
